Legal Action Support Report

The high cost of litigation in Nigeria suggests that parties contemplating litigation should arm themselves with maximum information in the decision-making process, including the availability, credibility and backgrounds of factual or expert witnesses.

In addition, an assessment as to the availability of assets against which a favourable judgment could be enforced is an increasingly important feature in the pre-litigation process.

  • CBS Credit offers three services in these important areas: – factual research, which includes the gathering of information to verify or disprove claims.
  • The identification and location of potential witnesses and initial contact with such individuals outside the formality of interviews with mainstream advisers.
  • Litigation intelligence: the gathering of information that may assist the client in the discovery process or help the client understand the financial aims and capability of the opposing party.
